Spring Duckling for Easter

My friend and I have been patiently waiting to see baby ducks at the lake, because the ducks are taking turns sitting on their nests, but alas, no ducklings thus far. So, I had to crochet my own:

Before you get too excited, this is NOT my own pattern. I found it in this month's edition of Crochet World magazine and immediately had to try one. I'm working on a second one in different colors right now.

I crocheted this four piece set last night consisting of one yellow duckling, a bright pink hat, jumper and egg to match:

It was a bit tedious having to sew on all the little parts (i.e. bill, wings, feet, tail) but it was actually quite fun to make. I'm going to crochet a few more in different colors to surprise a couple of my neighbors on Easter morning.

Quack, quack - happy Easter!

(Give us a hug!)

Lest we forget my boy! Here he is sitting in the children's rocking chair that I found standing next to the dumpster at my apartment complex. Please know, that I am not generally a "dumpster diver" but this wooden chair is very well made and looks like a quality item with just one small defect that I think I can repair. I want to paint it and maybe give it away or resell it. Meanwhile it can be Gizzy's rocking chair!

Rock on, Gizzy!


HAPPY EARTH DAY and a BLESSED GOOD FRIDAY !
